Summer 2001 Hydrology Surveys within theInuvialuit Settlement Region: Biophysical Baseline Studies in support of the Mackenzie Delta Gas Feasibility Study
Principal Investigator: Sawetsky, Les
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: A detailed data collection program will be undertaken on 20 streams. All major streams will be included in the survey. The proposed survey will begin in late July and continue until early September 2001, and will consist of comprehensive studies at selected streams, as discussed below, to define how the streams behave and how they change in time. The focus of the hydrology component is on descr...

Using Drilling Mud Sumps to Determine how well Permafrost Contains Contaminants
Principal Investigator: Dyke, Larry
Licensed Year(s): 1998 1997
Summary: Field work this year will be devoted to 1) determining the maximum extent of potassium chloride migration from sumps examined in 1997, 2) examine the Mallik L-38 sump constructed in 1972 as one of the oldest sumps in the Delta, 3) examine the sumps in Parsons Lake area where topographic relief has added the potential for salt migration due to groundwater flow. Sumps along Kumak Channel, near the m...

Permafrost Studies: Western Arctic Coast
Principal Investigator: Mackay, Ross J.
Licensed Year(s): 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1989
Summary: Transportation to and from the field sites will be by helicopter, either from Tuktoyaktuk or Inuvik, to and from Garry Island and Illisarvik (West Point, Richards Island). Most of the equipment used in the field is for measurement purposes , such as surveying equipment for precise height, distance, and tilt determinations of bench marks already installed across ice wedges and elsewhere, temperatu...

Geomorphologic and Hydrologic Analysis of Surface Features of the Mackenzie Delta, NT Using Spacial Image Analysis.
Principal Investigator: Boyes, Donald M.
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1994 1990
Summary: The collection of the field data is required to collaborate satellite image classifications and interpretations concerning water body measurements, plant community types and sedimentation patterns. Field measurements will include measuring ground distances and recording plant characteristics. Nothing in the field area will be destroyed or removed....

Geomorphological and hydrological research on valley formation in arctic and subarctic environments
Principal Investigator: Schunke, Ekkehard
Licensed Year(s): 2000 1994 1992 1990
Summary: The researchers will continue their study, initiated in 1990, on the geological and hydrological processes which contribute to valley formation in the subarctic and arctic. Data will be collected on various aspects of water runoff and sediment content. This data, along with long-term environmental data collected by Environment Canada, will contribute to our knowledge about valley formation....

Tracking arctic river water by geochemical means: Mackenzie Delta case study
Principal Investigator: Falkner, Kelly K.
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: The researchers will be tracking the fate of Mackenzie River waters through the Delta and into the Arctic Ocean by using natural geochemical markers. Water samples will be collected by drilling through the ice at 50 locations along the main channel of the river and out over the shelf. This information is important for understanding the circulation of Arctic Ocean waters, the processes of global ...

Investigation of ground ice development in sediments of the Mackenzie Delta area
Principal Investigator: Burn, Chris R
Licensed Year(s): 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991
Summary: The researcher will continue to collect samples of ground ice and measure temperatures in lakes and ponds. This information is used to help understand how the ground heaves as it freezes in winter, and to determine the extent of soil settlement during thaw in summer. The information about lakes is used to help understand the relations between water depths and temperatures beneath the lake....

I. Hydrologic and hydraulic aspects of northern hydrocarbon development; II. Sediment-related aspects of northern hydrocarbon development.
Principal Investigator: Jasper, Jesse
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The researchers will work in collaboration with other scientists to study water and sediment characteristics at certain Inland Water Directorate sites in the Mackenzie Delta. This study will be useful for evaluating impacts of hydrocarbon development as well as delta flooding on water flow, wildlife and vegetation in the delta. In addition, contaminants in water and sediments will be measured....

Contemporary channel characteristics and behaviour along the lower reaches of major tributaries of the Mackenzie River (from Norman Wells to the Mackenzie Delta)
Principal Investigator: Brooks, Greg
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: The research will provide basic information on the characteristics of the rivers and valleys that are major tributaries emptying into the Mackenzie River. The tributaries to be studied include the Carcajou, Mountain, Hume, Ramparts, Hare Indian, Ontaratue, Arctic Red and Peel Rivers. Little is known about the lower 5-7 km portion of these rivers. The information collected will include both aeri...
